Hello guys!

I am building a gaming desktop (which will be completed around January or February next year) and I need to know if Intel's i5-4590 will bottleneck GTX 980's performance?

And also, that question aside, what do you think of my soon-to-be-built build?
Motherboard: MSI Z87M Gaming
Processor: Intel i5-4590
RAM: 2x4GB Kingston HyperX Fury 1600 Mhz
Case: BitFenix Prodigy M
CPU Cooler: Corsair H55
Graphics Card: Nvidia GTX 980 <---- haven't bought yet but most probably going with the MSI
PSU: Seasonic M12II-620 EVO 620W 80Plus Bronze Fully Modular
Storage: WD Caviar Black 1 TB

Great build, no 4590 won't bottleneck 980 even in SLI. You don't need an af cooler with a locked CPU, so you can eliminate H55. Also, what about the MoBo? WD Black is faster than Blue just for namesake, the only added advantage is more warranty.

the mobo will be MSI's Z87M Gaming and unfortunately I bought the CPU Cooler already... I guess I can't let it go to waste now. Thanks for the reply! As for the storage, should I just go for the WD Caviar Blue instead? I kind of have a bit of a tight budget.

Sure, no need to waste the cooler, use it, it was just not compulsion so mentioned, neverming. Yes, Blue is as good, I'd actually save from that :)
